After surviving a disastrous battle at prom, Alyssa has embraced her
madness and gained perspective. She's determined to rescue her two
worlds and the people and netherlings she loves. Even if it means
challenging Queen Red to a final battle of wills and wiles ...and even
if the only way to Wonderland, now that the rabbit hole is closed, is
through the looking-glass world--a parallel dimension filled with
mutated and violent netherling outcasts. In the final installment of the
wildly popular Splintered trilogy, Alyssa and her dad journey into the
heart of magic and mayhem in search of her mom and to set right all
that's gone wrong. Together with Jeb and Morpheus, they must salvage
Wonderland from the decay and destruction that has ensnared it. But if
they succeed and come out alive, can everyone truly have their happily
ever after?

I couldn't get into this
book. I just couldn't. It is crazy, not like the others, where craziness
was useful to the story, but bat-shit crazy with no purpose. I got
boooooored with the love triangle. It appears almost every three pages
and it feels like it drags into forever. The solution to this one is
just... not going there as not to make spoilers, but I found it to be
easy and non compromising. I tried to get into the book time and
time again only to found out I just couldn't. It was a bizarre book with
no other purpose in its bizarre-ness (is that even a word?), and with a
week love triangle with an easy solution which was a no brainer:
[SPOILER] Let's keep both, momma! [SPOILER OVER]I just loved the
first one, wasn't sure about the second one but I still enjoyed it, but
this one... destroyed the trilogy for me.Sorry, I don't want to offend anyone. Maybe it wasn't the moment to read this one or maybe this one is just bat-shit crazy... :s
